These are the theories promoted by Anthony Colombo and the Colombo Family in order to portray Joe Colombo in the most favorable light. It is based on anecdotal accounts and is the weakest factually.
Well, if you say what you put up are facts, and anything opposing is only speculation or anecdotal accounts, others could turn it around and say the same. All sources are anecdotal accounts when you think of it.
The difference is that the anecdotal evidence from the Colombo Family is obviously going to be slanted towards portraying Joe Colombo in the most favorable light. Are you seriously stating Anthony Colombo is going to admit his father was a gangster and racketeer, profiting from the misery of others? They deny that the Mafia ever existed and that Joe Colombo was head of the Colombo family.
